You can use a password manager for all your passwords. By doing so, you wouldn’t have to think about making new and unique passwords for all platforms and websites. You can access your password manager on any device to enhance site usage and assist in your password management. Of course, there is still a risk of a data breach if you choose to compile all your passwords in a single manager. To avoid having compromised personal data, make sure to opt for two-factor authentication for your manager to avoid a data breach.

Here are some examples of password managing apps:

1. Google

   One of Google’s services offered to its users is password management. By saving your passwords to your Google account upon signing in to a site, on your next login, Google will automatically detect it and fill in the password you saved. By using this manager, you don’t have to remember all passwords because Google will do it for you.

2. Bitwarden

   Bitwarden is a password managing app that’s available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android users. This app is basically free, however, you can get a premium subscription for $10 annually to get the full exclusive offers for premium members. This encryption software can both generate unique passwords, or store the ones that you have.

3. LastPass

   The LastPass app is another password managing software that’s free and secure. It is available on all devices, and if you want to subscribe to its premium membership to acquire maximum security for your data, the annual fee is $36.
